The sayote was a welcome sight to come home to -- Mom's and Uncle's summer garden is like a bit of Taveuni... green, green, green!
Traditional CHRISTmas colors of red and green -- displayed in summertime. The two gardeners harvest something almost every day... which ends up in Mom's cooking pot, and i get to be the blessed recipient of tasty Filipino dishes! Paksiw with veges, diningding, tinolang upo, pinakbet...
Being surrounded by all this (ampalaya and sayote vegetables; impatience, stargazer, spider plants) is like being immersed in a green cave...
Kalamansi is still bearing fruit... year-round it seems!
Not-so-spicy chiles... just right for me, but too tame for my Fijian and Mexican friends.
i just munch on these right off the vine... can't get any fresher!
Summer squash -- or upo/tabugaw, in Filipino -- great any way you cook them!
Uncle Ric's handiwork -- my favorite area in the garden, where i sometimes bring my breakfast, coffee, or lunch -- just absorbing the chlorophyll (hah!)...
Mom's watery pets... they rush to her whenever she comes around!
Priceless sight...
The gardeners -- Rosita and Ricardo -- whom GOD blessed with green thumbs.
Then the LORD GOD planted a garden in Eden in the east, and there He placed the man He had made. (Genesis 2:8) GOD -- the first and ultimate Gardener... and Creator of man.
